Elijah called down fire on Mount Carmel and outran a king's chariot in the rain. Soon afterward he was alone under a broom tree, praying to die: "I have had enough, LORD." God did not scold him. He let him sleep, woke him with bread baked over hot coals, and said, "Get up and eat."
Bread Baked Over Hot Coals is a 30-day devotional through the life of Elijah for anyone who has had enough. Along the way you'll follow Bern, a 78-year-old retired pastor who bakes bread over the coals every Saturday and who once spent three weeks in a psychiatric unit himself, and Nolan, a 34-year-old pastor in a drought-stricken Oregon ranch town who wins a bitter public fight and collapses three days later. They talk on Bern's porch above a creek, and their conversations lead into each day's Scripture, reflection, and practice.
Inside
- By the Brook: a bold word to a king, hiding by the brook, ravens with bread, a brook that dries up, a widow's last handful of flour, and a son given back
- Fire on the Mountain: Obadiah in Ahab's palace, "How long will you waver between two opinions?", a repaired altar, fire from heaven, and a cloud as small as a man's hand
- Under the Broom Tree: fear and flight, "I have had enough," sleep, bread, and "the journey will be too much for you" (1 Kings 19:7)
- The Still, Small Voice: "What are you doing here?", the wind, the earthquake, the fire, a quiet voice, new work, seven thousand who never bowed, and a cloak thrown over a young farmer
